Writing on the Screen
In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, you can use
your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper.
You can edit and format what you have written and convert the information
to text later.
To write on the screen, tap Menu Draw to switch to the drawing mode. This
action displays lines on the screen to help you write.
NOTE: Not all programs support the drawing mode.
Converting Your Writing to Text
1. If you want to convert only certain words, select them before going to
the next step.
2. To convert writing to text, tap Menu Tools Recognize or tap and hold
the selected words and then tap Recognize on the shortcut menu. Your
writing is turned into text.
If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.
